Question 1

Was $7,800 a good price for this 2021 AUDI S5?

Accepted Answer

83 comparable 2021 AUDI S5 listings sold at auction for a median of $12,900, spanning $6,600 to $19,900. At $7,800 this one went 40% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 2

How much below its undamaged value did this AUDI S5 sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2021 AUDI S5's pre-damage retail value at $36,422. It sold for $7,800 — 79% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

Question 3

What does a salvage title mean for this AUDI S5?

Accepted Answer

This 2021 AUDI S5 was sold on a salvage title. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

Question 4

How far is this AUDI S5 from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in CT - NEW BRITAIN. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 120 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, which is a real part of the landed cost and one reason identical cars fetch different bids depending on where they sit. Rates are indicative market figures rather than quotes, and rise with fuel prices and in winter.

Question 5

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 AUDI S5. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 6

Is 78,007 miles high for a 2021 AUDI S5?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 AUDI S5 listings at auction averaged 49,464 miles across 83 sales, so at 78,007 miles this one sits 58% above that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.
